HINGE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed July 30, 1909.

Patented A11 16, 1910.

Serial No. 510,423.

T 0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WALFRED A. PETERSON, a citizen of the United States, residing at Belleville, in the county of Essex and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hinges; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

This invention relates to an improved hinge that is designed to have two hinge leaves arranged to swing on a pin common to both of them, which pin has its ends secured in standards, which standards are in turn secured to the element supporting the hinge. The hinge leaves are arranged to support swinging members which are adapted to be swung separately or together.

The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which Figure 1 is a side view of the hinge with its support and the swinging members. Fig. 2 is a top view of the same, and Fig. 3 is an end view of the hinge with one of the stanclards partly shown in section.

Any suitable support 10, such as a bowl or basin, has the flanges 11 which are adapted to receive the bolts 12 of a standard 13, each of the bolts being screw-threaded and provided with a nut 14:. The nut is adapted to bear on the under side of the flange 11 and securely fasten the bolt thereto by reason of the flange l2 bearing on the top of the flange 11. Each standard has a head 15 thereon, each head being recessed to receive a pin 16, which pin forms the pintle of the hinge. The heads 15 are recessed so as to receive the ends of the pin 16 and prevent lateral movement of the pin and make a firmer and more secure structure. 011 the heads 15 are secured the eyes 17 which are secured on the ends of curved arms 18 and so arranged that their outside edges abut against the heads 15 so that the arms 18 cannot have a lateral movement. The arms 18 are arranged in cured to a hinge leaf 19 which is secured by screws 20, or any other desirable means, to one of the elements, such as a seat, to be swung.

Arranged between the eyes 17 is a sleeve 21, which sleeve fits between and abuts against the opposed faces of the two eyes 17 and prevents these eyes from moving on the pin 16. The sleeve 21 is provided with sub stantially parallel arms 22 which are integral with and merged into a hinge leaf 23 which is secured to another swinging element, such as a lid, the arms 22 and the hinge leaf 23 extending out from the sleeve 21 in a substantially horizontal plane. The leaves 19 and 23 are substantially parallel when in normal position.

The particular shape of the heads 15 is immaterial and is a matter of design, but the head with the recess arranged to inclose the end of the pintle 16 is preferred.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim is 1. A hinge comprising a hinge leaf having substantially parallel arms and having an integral sleeve at the ends of the arms and extending across the space between the arms and extendin beyond the arms, a second hinge leaf havlng substantially parallel arms, the arms of the second hinge leaf being curved and terminating into eyes which are perforated and are adapted to flank the sleeve of the first hinge leaf, a pin passing through the sleeve and the eyes, standards on the ends of the pin, each standard having a recessed head to receive the end of the pin to limit the lateral movement thereof, each head also abutting 011 an eye of the second hinge leaf, and means for securing the standards to a support.

2. A hinge comprising a hinge leaf having substantially parallel arms and having an integral sleeve at the ends of the arms and extending across the space between the arms and slightly beyond the arms, a second hinge leaf having substantially parallel arms, .the arms of the second hinge leaf being curved and terminating into eyes which are perforated and are adapted to flank the sleeve and the eyes, standards on the ends of the substantially parallel relation and are sepin, each standard having a recessed head to I have hereunto set my hand this twentyeighth day of July 1909.
